Message:: [QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 24649154, member: 94733"]Okay, I hang my head in shame, as I was on meds and put in what I thought was extremely low bids in an obscure auction, and won! The photos weren't great, and I wasn't thinking straight, so didn't put a lot of thought into the auction, so I was surprised when I got both of these at $200 each. Later, after the coins arrived, I took time to examine them a bit closer and now have second thoughts as to whether they are authentic, and if so, what they might be worth. After reading all of the information I could find on how to determine fakes from real, I still can't tell, but believe Coin B to be fake, and Coin A uncertain. Weight:   Should be 27.63g               Coin A  26.7 g                    Coin B  26.6 g Diameter: Should be 38.1 mm               Coin A  37.9 mm                  Coin B  37.9 mm Coin A[ATTACH=full]1569355[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1569353[/ATTACH] Coin B [ATTACH=full]1569352[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1569354[/ATTACH] damage at 5:00 looks like high voltage electricity[/QUOTE]
